context_page_description: Ullesthorpe is a small village and civil parish situated in the Harborough district in southern Leicestershire. Ullesthorpe is noted for its historic background with a mill, disused railway station and traces of a medieval settlement evident on the edge of the village.
context_section_description: Population
  Prior to the release of accurate census records, a population count counted 494 people living in Ullesthorpe in 1801. With the opening of the mill in 1800, this led to a rapid increase in the number of people living within the local area because of the employment opportunities.  This led to a population increase of 600 in 1821. However, after the close of the mills in the late 1890s, population figures fell again. When accurate census records were introduced in 1881, it is evident from the graph, that there was a fluctuation in population figures. In 1881, the population was recorded as 523. However, by 1911, the population count had sharply declined to 312, but in recent years, this has been on the increase. The population, based on the 2011 census, indicates 903 people currently live in Ullesthorpe.
  Occupation structure
  The chart to the right indicates what occupation males and females from Ullesthorpe had in 1881. The chart evidently indicates that the predominant male job was within the agriculture sector with 47 people (35%). On the other hand, the predominant role for women was within the domestic office/services with 32 people (27%). However, we cannot be certain with this percentage because 62 women's occupations were unknown in the 1881 census.
  In comparison, the 2011 census data reveals that agriculture and domestic roles are on the decline. The predominant roles within the male sector were professionals and technicians (34.9%), skilled tradesmen (21.7%) and managers and senior officers (18.8%).  For women, the main roles were professionals (20.4%) and administrative/secretarial occupations (20.4%).
  Evidently, in the last 120 years, occupations for both males and females have changed dramatically.
